Mask Policy

All patients and visitors are required to a mask over their nose and mouth when entering the building and during the duration of their visit at BAP, regardless of your vaccine status.

Patients arriving without masks will be turned away. Patients are required to bring their own masks because BAP can not guarantee a consistent supply and because patients would have to enter the clinic without a mask were they to rely on us to provide them. 

*Because it is inadvisable for children under the age of 2 to wear a mask, they are not allowed to visit the clinic at this time.
